Reflection: Paying attention

If I stay still in silence and pay attention, I can hear and smell and see things that i did not notice - like the ticking of the clock or sounds that crickets make, smell my surrounding air and even see little things like small insects crawling around my table. Ideas and thoughts also come to my mind. When there is too much technology around us, we would be tempted to use is for other purposes (such as gaming and social networking) and we would lose focus on what we were doing. I can feel my heart beat, my lungs expanding and contracting, and I would be able also be able to hear my surroundings better.
